What is FCC v. Pacifica Foundation and what incident brought it about?
“A radio station of respondent Pacifica Foundation (hereinafter respondent) made an afternoon broadcast of a satiric monologue, entitled “Filthy Words,” which listed and repeated a variety of colloquial uses of “words you couldn’t say on the public airwaves.” A father who heard the broadcast while driving with his young son complained to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which, after forwarding the complaint for comment to and receiving a response from respondent, issued a declaratory order granting the complaint.” http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/comm/free_speech/pacifica.html http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/comm/free_speech/pacifica.html
